Fresh off the feeds, it's Tech After Dark. I'm Nova, here with Glitch, and iFixit just cracked open Apple's new MacBook Pro proled. First oled, touchscreen MacBook Pro, and the glowing Apple logo is back! Okay, Nova, how does that logo even glow now? It gets its own backlight: four L E Ds and diffusers behind the screen. The catch? For practical purposes, it's impossible to replace. Who cares, it's lighter!

The touchscreen proled weighs 1.82 kilograms, down from its predecessor's 2.14. Lighter, sure, just don't break the logo. That's from GSMArena and iFixit's teardown, the full post is linked. See you next time.
